Banana Toffee Scones

I can’t just buy a few at a time. But of course, they all turn brown and spotty before I can eat all of them. I’m a green banana snob. Ripe bananas totally gross me out. But…that just means I can be a crazy baker for a few days. If I can get to them before everyone else in the house that is. I realize that this is the third recipe in a row with banana in it.

I have made muffins and cheesecake so far in just one week. Are you tired of the yellow fruit yet? Please say no, please say no! I still have a few more…like I said I buy a bunch at a time. I promise to wait a little bit before the next one though.

But for now, let’s talk about these scones. You need them in your life because they taste like banana bread but in a traditional scone form. And of course I threw toffee bits into the dough because, well, because I love toffee bits. And you guys are pretty fond of candy in baked good too. Am I right? Another great thing about these scones is that you only need a bowl and a fork to create the dough. I love when I don’t have to dirty 10 million pots and pans to make one thing.

What are you waiting for?

Go bake up some scones with those bananas on your counter!!!

I told you I was addicted to bananas…
here are a few more of my favorites.

Combine all the dry ingredients in a bowl. Add the butter and cut in with a fork until well mixed. Create a well in the center and add the milk, vanilla, and bananas. Gently mix until everything is incorporated.

Place the dough on a non stick baking sheet and pat into an 8 inch circle that is about 1 inch thick. Gently score the dough into 8 scones. Bake at 400* for 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and cut through the score marks. Place back in the oven for 5 minutes. Remove and place on a wire rack until cool. Store in a sealed container for 4-5 days. Makes 8 scones.

Thank you. My adaptation is in the oven now – due to lack of ingredients. You are an inspiration to my kitchen adventures. And your Gingerbread Pudding Cookie made my 12 Days of Christmas Cookies, and was enjoyed by all.

The combination of banana and toffee sounds so good! I would have never thought to combine those two ingredients. And you add them to scones, so that justifies eating them for breakfast right?!Elaine @ Cooking to Perfection recently posted..Skinny Pumpkin and Cream Muffins

I’m with you, Jocelyn, on the whole green banana-thing. Once I see a spots, in the freezer they go! Love the addition of bananas to anything baked. They make things so moist…and delicious. Have a great day Liz recently posted..Chewy Popcorn Bars #bloggersforsandyhook

It always amazes me how I can buy bananas that are slightly green at the store, but seem to turn brown by the time I get home??? Good thing you’ve given me ways to use them up!Tanya Schroeder recently posted..Italian Beef and Pepperoni Soup

YUM!!! I love bananas – my grocery store sells slightly over ripe fruit and veggies in boxes for $1 and it is alway a good score to get a box of bananas – perfect for this recipe and all your other banana recipes I cant wait to try these!veronica recently posted..Adventures in Blogging: Through Clouded Glass

You and I should be banana buddies! I buy an extra large bunch of bananas Knowing I will end up using 1/2 of them in muffins, bread, etc. These scones look beautiful! I guess I will have to make these with the brown bananas I have sitting on my counter right now Summer @ Mallow and Co recently posted..Blueberry Muffin Rice Krispy Treats

Banana buddies it is! I always buy extra just for muffins and bread too!!! I hope you do try these scones…I just ate the last one and now I am wishing I had extra bananas again. Time to go shopping I guess!

Jocelyn,
YUM! I love scones but haven’t ever made them with bananas. I actually love yellow bananas with spots on them, lol So I buy a bunch every week too. My hubby and daughter like them on the green side. I just don’t get it, why eat a banana if it doesn’t taste like a banana? lol This was a topic on FB the other day too! Thanks so much for linking up to Creative Thursday. Can’t wait to see what you share next week! Have a wonderful weekend.

I’m the only crazy one in my family who likes them green. I just can’t eat them ripe You must try banana in a scone. They were so delicious! Somehow I missed that FB topic the other day…sounds like it was a good one!!!

So tender and full of two of my favorites: toffee and banana. you come up with the best flavor combos!sally @ sallys baking addiction recently posted..salted triple caramel cupcakes.

For the longest time I hated scones because of how dry they were. I finally started playing with recipes and have come up with one that I really like. It is so easy to customize it with different flavors too! Thanks for the flavor compliment I love playing with different ones to see what works!!!

There is no such thing as too many baked goods with banana in them! I could eat these scones all day long–they look so moist and perfect. LOVE!Ashley @ Kitchen Meets Girl recently posted..What&#8217;s In Your Kitchen Wednesday
